David Deida-A Seminar on Sexual Yoga-Function Form and Glow

In this introduction clip, Deida explains the difference between Therapy, Yoga, and Spiritual Practice as they pertain to sexuality. While Therapy deals with "function," and Spiritual Practice with "glow," Deida sets the stage for a discussion of the actual "flow" of Yogic energy, to be the focus of subsequent clips.

@innosensecal I ran into the same thing on other videos. Why disable comments?

[enlinghman]

@innosensecal I think you're pretty sleezy yourself...

[innosensecal]

Never been sure of this guy.....and i find it interesting that comments are disabled from alot of his videos on youtube where i left some honest points before...what does that tell you....

[squamish4244]

@majorawol I've read up on this guy and found some pretty sleazy and disturbing stuff myself. Verbal abuse, getting involved in teaching a network of "pick-up artists"...like someone commented below, I think he's a train wreck waiting to happen. I came across a teaching by one of his students and it was also vaguely creepy. But he'd just tell us we are "stuck" somewhere and therefore bypass criticism (the same trick Ken Wilber uses). If I met him, I'd also want to punch him in the face.

Bla, bla.... I use to practice this kind of ..... science!?!?!...... Trust me, you will get worst from nowhere! Tantric, spiritual not as therapy (no need)! It's bullshit! Pure bullshit! If you really want to find out what is all about this INDIAN CRAP go read The Gurus, the Young Man, and Elder Paisios by Dionysios Farasiotis! You will have an honest answer and the big picture about this kind of so called SPIRITUALITY!

Sorry for being kind of rude!

Dude is clearly high on himself. Having looked him up, I find it hard to trust his credentials. Credit where credit is due, though, he's found a niche and is exploiting it to the max.

@majorawol very interesting observations.

[majorawol]

For sure. There's something kinda... sleezy and, unholy. That is... he talks about God all this holy stuff, but it lacks some kind of sincere sense of the sacred. I think it sucks, but for the most part, he's presenting important truths. But maybe it's just his style. Personally, I'd probably punch him. So I'm better off reading his books. But yeah, my gut tells me he ain't practicing what he be preaching. He's on a high horse. I'll watch out for that in myself. It's a razors Edge this stuff.

interesting comment that makes me curious, but i'm having trouble understanding. he does not strike me as concerned with impressions. he's teaching, i see him communicating, which requires an awareness of others. so i see awareness but i don't see concern. He does seem to enjoy teaching. but that doesn't seem off to me.
